INTRODUCTION 



The epitaphs in the cemeteries of Lee earher than the period of this collec- 
tion were published several years ago — those prior to 1801 in the volume enti- 
tled, "Records of the Town of Lee from its Incorporation to A. D. 1801," 
and those for the period 1801-1825 in a pamphlet designed to supplement an 
indexed manuscript copy of all the town's records of those years. 

At the time they were printed there was no thought of carrying the work 
further, but they have proved of so much interest, and so convenient for refer- 
ence that a continuation to the middle of the last century seems desirable; be- 
sides, it seems desirable that these scanty final records of the inhabitants of the 
town should be preserved in a more durable way than by their gravestones. 

Anyone familiar with the old burial grounds of New England must realize 
how frail memorials in stone are in such a damp and frosty climate as ours. 
The yearly upheaval of the ground by frost causes the fall and fracture of some 
of the stones, and the weathering of a century almost obliterates some of the 
inscriptions. The sawed marble slabs which came into very general use for 
gravestones in this region about 1825, have proved less durable than those of 
the same material of an earlier date, which, laboriously wrought with the chisel, 
were left with a rough, thick base for the ground, so that they have remained 
more firmly in place. A considerable number of the sawed stones, weakened by 
the disintegrating action of water and frost, have broken near the ground. Some 
of them have been reset, frequently with part of the inscription hidden in the 
earth, and some broken into fragments have been removed to the rubbish heaps. 
Some of those destroyed have been replaced by other memorials, usually of a 
more durable character, but more often the grave remains unmarked. The 
later method of fastening the slab to a base is even less permanent, for unless 
the base is on a firm foundation it soon tilts, and after no long time the stone 
falls; besides, although the base may remain in place, the stone after a few 
years is likely to become loosened and separated from it. 

A few of the oldest gravestones in town were brought from a considerable 
distance and are not marble, but no other stone was used during the first half 
of the last century — the granite obelisk in memory of Dr. Hyde, who died in 
1833, excepted. This is a shaft 14 feet in hight, impressive in its severe plain- 
ness, and fittingly marks the resting place of that strict Calvinist who was the 
pastor of the Congregational Church of Lee for more than forty years, and 
who baptized, married, and preached the funeral sermons of more of the town's 
people than has any other person. There are several stately family monuments 
shown Oil the plates, and there are, also, a few granite memorials bearing the 
names or persons who died before 1851, but all have been erected in lateryears. 



The second quarter of the last century is especially interesting,' and impor- 
tant in the town's history, From an agricultural community with a few Strug- 
filing manufacturing industries in 1825. it had become one of the foremost pa- 
per manufacturing places in the country in 1850, and durinp: that time the pop- 
ulation had more than doubled; yet its people remained remarkably homogene- 
ous, being mostly descendants of the early settlers, or immigrants from other 
New England localities. The slight advance wave of that flood of European im- 
migration which has swept over Nev; England during the last sixty years was 
scarcely noticeable here at the middle of the last century. Until then most of 
the graves in our cemeteries were those of descendants of the Pilgrims and Pu- 
ritans. A few memorials bear names denoting Dutch or Huguenot ancestry, 
but nearly all such families had become amalgamated with the native stock. 
Altogether, the proportion not born in New England was very small. 

Before the end of this period the last pioneer of adult age when the town 
was incorporated, and the last Revolutionary soldier residing in the town had 
passed away. Appreciation of the labors, struggles and sacrifices of the hardy, 
industrious and courageous men who felled the forest, cleared the boulder- 
strewn soil, and fought for our country's independence will surely grow with 
the years. The epitaphs of many of that sturdy stock appear in this collection, 
and perhaps the printed page will preserve them a little longer than their crum- 
bling gravestones. 

The inscriptions in type represent the originals as closely as possible 
with the type at command. An impression of each was used for copy, so that 
a faithful transcript is given with the spelling and punctuation as on the stones, 
However, despite all care, there are several slight misprints. All found are 
mentioned in the notes, except the following: on page 49, fourth line from the 
bottom of the last column, an e is omitted from the word sweet.

Glancing through eternity.

Barnabas Adams. A Revolutionary sol- 
dier — militia service. He removed from 
Becket to Lee about 1800. 

Oornelia [Cornelia?], daught. of Joseph 
Andruss. Undoubtedly the first letter of 
the name, intended for C, was left unfin- 
ished. The town and church records note 
the death of the child, but do not give 
her name. The church record has: 
"A child of Mr Joseph Andrus of New 
Hartford"— 

The poetical lines on Anna Florence 
Ayer 's monument are: 

^^ Lost are the tears we shed; 
They are the living they alone 
Whotn thus we call the dead." 

The poetical lines on William Nathan 
Ayer's monument are: 

Preeminence in early life 

was shown — 
For earth too good perhaps, 
And loved too much~- 
Heaverc saw ayid marked 

thee for his own. 

David Baker. A Revolutionary soldier 
— militia service. He came from Barn- 
stable and settled in Lee about 1783. 

The poetical lines on Samuel Ball's

To pay the tribute of a falling tear;

But for your greatest change prepare,

Isaac Brewer. A Revolutionary soldier 
— 9 months Continental service for New

Thou art lovely e'en in death.

And took the flower away.
